How does online sabong work?

The fights themselves take place in three stages: ulatan, ruweda, and the actual fight itself. The first two stages are basically like warm-ups that help to establish the rhythm of the fight and see how each rooster handles pressure—but they're also crucial for setting up what happens during the actual fight itself. It's during these stages that you'll get to see some serious moves from your favorite roosters!

• The ulatan can be called pre-game preparation. The gamecocks are paired based on their physical characteristics, such as height, size, wingspan and weight. The roosters are then fitted with blades or knives on their legs to fight each other.
• The ruweda follows. This is when each roosters makes his entrance into the pit by walking around while spectators throw money into it. At this point, all bets are final and no additional money can be wagered on any particular fighter.
• The fight itself begins when one of the roosters steps onto a platform in front of his opponent's corner, followed by its opponent stepping onto a platform on his own side of the pit opposite him. as long as one side falls, the other side wins! A variety of bets can be placed on the outcome of a cockfight: who will win the match, how many rounds it will go on for, or which bird will survive.
